One solution is to split the article.</p> <p>Since undoing a split may be labor-intensive if significant editing happens to either page after the split, try to avoid splitting until after a community discussion. If there is another way to reduce the "post-expanded size" that is easier to "undo" than a split, consider doing it first, then opening a discussion to see what the long-term fix should be.</p> <p>Likewise, if a split would be controversial, try to find a less controversial way to temporarily reduce the "post-expanded size" then open a discussion to find consensus for a long-term fix.</p> <p>However, if splitting the page is the easiest-to-undo solution and such a split would not be controversial, consider <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BOLD">being bold</a> and splitting the page, then immediately opening a discussion to see if the community accepts the split or if it offers alternative solutions.

These instructions are provided for guidance, but some steps may not be necessary in all cases and these instructions may not cover every eventuality. It is advisable to read through the whole of this procedure before starting.</p> <ol> <li>If the material you want for the new article is scattered around the source article, then prepare the source article by grouping the material to be split out into a single section. Save your changes with an edit summary like "preparing to split article".</li> <li>Create the new article by opening the empty page (or redirect page).</li> <li>Open the source article (or relevant section) to edit in another browser window (or tab) and copy the contents to be split out (from the section created in step #1) from the source article.</li> <li>Paste into the new article with <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_summary?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Edit summary">edit summary</a> "<b>Contents [[WP:SPLIT]] from [[<i>Source article name</i>]]; please see its history for attribution.</b>" and save the new article.</li> <li>Tidy up the new article: <ul> <li>The lead sentence will need to be changed to use bold font and usually includes a link to the source article.</li> <li>A References section should be added and categories should be added. There may also be sections of a bibliography, navboxes, See also section or External links that can be copied from the source article.</li> <li>Adjust section headings.</li> <li>Add any background information about the parent subject that will be necessary for the reader to understand the subtopic.</li> <li>Resolve any cite errors that occur when invocations of a named reference are separated from their definition – i.e. copy the relevant information from the source article.</li> </ul></li> <li>Create a good summary of the subtopic at the parent article. <ul> <li>Add "{{<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Template:Main?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Template:Main">Main</a>|<i>new article name</i>}}" (use the order: image, main tag, text). If all the content of the section is being removed (e.g. in the case of a list) use the "<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Template:See?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:See">See</a>" template instead of the "Main" template. Use the edit summary "<b>Material [[WP:SPLIT]] to [[<i>New article name</i>]]</b>" and save the edit.</li> <li>Add a summary, usually of a couple of paragraphs and one image, of the newly created subtopic (unless complete removal is appropriate). Alternatively, with a strong lead paragraph in the new article, use an <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Template:Excerpt?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Template:Excerpt">excerpt template</a> to replace the section: <b>{{Excerpt|Page title}}</b></li> <li>There may be some external links, bibliography items, etc. that can be removed from the source article as they are now in the new article.</li> </ul></li> <li>Check <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Special:WhatLinksHere">Special:WhatLinksHere</a> to see whether some inlinks to the source article (especially any that were to the section that has been split off) can now be changed to point to the new article.</li> <li>(Optionally) Add templates referring to the split to the talk pages: <ul> <li>If the new article is not being created from scratch (e.g. there is already a redirect), then go to the new article, click on 'View history' tab, select the edit where the copy was made, open it and copy the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:DIFF?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DIFF">diff URL</a> of the edit where the cut was made from the browser URL window.</li> <li>If the new article is being created from scratch, it's a bit more complicated to obtain a <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:DIFF?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DIFF">diff URL</a> – see <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Template:Copied?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Template:Copied">Template:Copied</a>.</li> <li>Open the source article talk page to edit in a new tab.</li> <li>Add template <code>{{Copied|from=|from_oldid=|to=|to_diff=}}</code> to source article talk page, and paste the diff URL into it, add the title of the new article and the date, add a descriptive edit summary and save the edit.</li> <li>Open the new (destination) article talk page to edit in a new tab.</li> <li>Add template <code>{{Copied|from=|from_oldid=|to=|to_diff=}}</code> to the new article talk page, and paste the diff into it, add the title of the source page and the date, add a descriptive edit summary and save the edit.</li> <li>On the talk page of the new article, you can put the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a
